The EU Sprint takes place from 16:00 to 19:59 UTC on
Saturday 12th April. It is CW-only on 80, 40 & 20m.
Rules at http://www.eusprint.com/index.php?page=140&lang=g
SD supports the Sprint. V14.01 runs on Windows PCs, and
is free from www.ei5di.com.
Select the "EU Sprint" template.
Enter the Mode as CW, and your Name for the exchange.
EU entrants: Work everyone on 80, 40 & 20m.
DX entrants: Work EU only.
Exchange Serial & Name & both callsigns.
Enter the Serial and Name as a single field - with no spaces.
For example: SD logs "2FRED" as "002 FRED".
If you load a .LST callsign/name file with the LOAD command,
SD autofills the Name on a callsign match. If the name has
changed, overtype with the correct name.
SD supports ESM (Enter Sends Message). The correct exchange,
depending on the mode (RUN or S&P), is hard-coded so that
you don't need to change the F2 message contents.
With ESM, SD changes the mode as you log each QSO. If it's
not appropriate, or you get into trouble, switch ESM Off
with Apostrophe. You can change mode with the Grave Accent
key (above Tab).
After the contest, use SDCHECK to create your .LOG file.
Email it, as an attached file, to eusprint at kkn.net.
Please mention SD in your soapbox comments.
